City Council Meeting

Meeting ID: 17717

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Twelve to fourteen members were present for the February 4, 2026 meeting, which opened the city's Black History Month observance. Council Member Heather Hutt led a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of Black History Month commemorations, honoring the Our Authors Study Club and presenting Living Legend and Hall of Fame awards to actress and author Denise Nicholas, artist Charles Dixon, author Antwone Fisher, and technologist Dyana Anderson. Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson spoke about attacks on DEI programs and Black history education nationally. Council Member Curren Price fell ill during the reception following the presentation and was taken to a hospital as a precaution; the council president said he was in stable condition. Los Angeles Unified students staged a walkout in protest of ICE enforcement outside City Hall during the meeting, which several council members, including Eunisses Hernandez and Ysabel Jurado, said the city had coordinated with community "peace ambassador" violence-interruption workers to keep safe.

Council adopted, unanimously, an ordinance authorizing the LA County Department of Public Health to collect medical debt data at no cost to the city (Item 13), sponsored by Council Member Hernandez, in order to help identify low-income residents eligible for medical debt relief; the item was adopted forthwith. Council also unanimously approved bond financing for the 128-unit Warner Center II affordable housing development in Council District 3 (Item 1), funding for International Holocaust Remembrance Day observance events (Item 17), and a motion relating to a jobs and economic development incentive zone (Item 18). A separate item authorizing bonds for an 11-story hotel project was continued to February 24.

Public comment included a Starbucks worker describing the fast food fair work ordinance as necessary to protect workers from retaliation during union organizing, and a Trans Latina Coalition representative criticizing the council for advancing LAPD funding items without public comment while a proposed TGI Wellness and Equity Fund initiative remains unfunded.
